Description
When I wake up in the morning I like to lie in bed and check email. I remember clicking on the CAF daily email and seeing that John Cassady had died and how the rest of my day felt so surreal. His age was in-between both of my older siblings. So I told myself that the next piece I post here would be the Planetary TPB cover I picked up from Ben Bressel.

I'm not going to write about how great this series still is decades later. You should all know that. Or how amazing Cassady's art was at the time compared to much of what was coming out. A small part of me hoped that he's do a cover to the current Outsiders series that's an indirect sequel to Planetary. But I guess that's never going to happen.

As always, Cassaday's design sense is very strong and this is done to match the style of a series of book volumes.  The central front image in pencils of Snow, Jakita, and Drummer that may be the finest team image of them he has done.

Cassaday was so good at composition and design

Fantastic imagery! 
 

Reed Richards... I mean, Randall Dowling holds Snow in a torture device.  Like any good villain, Dowling is smug and bored, so he lets his antagonist live.  Big mistake!

Cassaday actually did a variant cover for Outsiders #1 before he passed.
